What to think about in Dumfries and Galloway
Outdoor unit position
Outdoor units need air flow and access, and should be away from neighbours' windows to keep noise down.
Working hours
Most Dumfries and Galloway businesses prefer noisy work outside trading hours. Early starts, evenings and weekends can be arranged and are priced up front.
Refrigerant rules
Since 1 January 2025, new single split systems holding under 3 kg of refrigerant in Great Britain cannot use refrigerant with a GWP of 750 or more — in practice, R32 or lower.
Shared buildings
In multi-let buildings, roof space, risers and plant areas are often controlled by a managing agent. We work to their permits and method-statement requirements.
Who we work with in Dumfries and Galloway
- Pubs and bars: cooling for busy bars, function rooms and cellars, sited with neighbours in mind.
- Warehouses and industrial: cooling for offices, mezzanines, control rooms and temperature-sensitive areas.
- Gyms and leisure: high-capacity cooling and fresh air for gym floors, studios and changing rooms.
- Healthcare and dental: clean, quiet cooling for surgeries, clinics, dental practices and care settings.
In Scotland, systems holding 5 tonnes CO2 equivalent of refrigerant or more fall under GB F-gas rules, with regular leak checks and records; systems with an effective output of 12 kW or more also need a periodic energy inspection.
